Hello Pretty EELs
Boy band EXO and SHINee’s Choi Minho became the most searched K-pop group and Korean personality in the Philippines in 2013, respectively.
Google Philippines released its annual year-end Zeitgeist, a collection of the top search queries by Filipinos on google.com.ph.
Leading 2013’s top searches is Hollywood actor and “The Fast and the Furious” star Paul Walker, who was killed in a car crash last Nov. 30.
“Zeitgeist is a tool in discovering the pulse of the people through searches made on Google. With the growing percentage of population going online, Zeitgeist becomes reflective of the issues and topics we’re interested in. This year’s lists speak a lot about our concern for national achievement and progress, while at the same time our curiosity in pop culture issues,” according to Gail Tan, Google Philippines Country Communications Manager.
In the Philippines, EXO topped the list of most searched K-pop groups. This year, EXO surged in popularity with the release of their studio album “XOXO.” EXO visited the country last January and September for concerts.
